PORK SHOGAYAKI (GINGER PORK)

Steps:

• (this step is optional) Using the tip of a sharp knife, cut the connecting tissue (the tissue separating red meat and fat) embedded in the meat. This will prevent the meat from curing when cooked.
• Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of sake and 1 teaspoon of ginger juice over the pork slices, coat well and leave for 10 minutes. This will tenderise the meat and removes meaty smell.
• Mix ginger sauce ingredients in a bowl.
• Heat oil in a non-stick (preferred) frypan over medium high heat.
• Place the meat in the frypan without overlapping (cook in batches if required) and cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the bottom side is golden and the edges start to cook.
• Turn it over and cook further 1-2 minutes. If cooking in batches, transfer the cooked meat onto a plate and cook the remaining meat.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Return all the cooked meat to the frypan and add the ginger sauce to the pan.
• Cook for about 15-30 seconds, turning the pork slices over to ensure the meat is coated with the sauce. When the sauce is reduced to about 1-2 tablespoons (note 3), turn the heat off.
• Place the vegetables on one side of the plate. Place pork slices and pour the sauce in the frypan over the pork.

ONE PAN SWEET GINGER GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and place a large oven-safe skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
• Season the pork tenderloins with salt and pepper on all sides.
• Add the olive oil to the skillet and once it's heated add the pork, searing it on all sides.
• While the pork is browning, add the garlic, thyme, mustard, ginger, brown sugar and soy sauce to a small bowl, whisking together to combine.
• Once the pork has browned on all sides, drizzle the glaze over the pork tenderloins and brush on all sides.
• Let the remaining glaze flow into the bottom of the skillet and place the skillet in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches about 150 degrees Fahrenheit (use a meat thermometer for this!).
• Once the pork reaches 150 degrees Fahrenheit, remove the skillet from the oven and baste the pork with the glaze in the bottom of the pan before covering lightly with aluminum foil and resting for 5-6 minutes.
• Slice the pork after it has rested and serve with the remaining glaze.

EASY GARLIC GINGER GLAZED STICKY PORK

Steps:

• In a liquid measuring cup or a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mild honey, sriracha, and rice wine vinegar. Set aside.
• Pour the oil into a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium high heat and swirl to coat. Let it heat until it is shimmering. While the oil heats, sprinkle the pork strips with kosher salt and black pepper then toss with your hands to distribute it evenly. Carefully add the pork to the pan, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Let the first side brown, flip the pieces with tongs or a spatula, and brown the second side. Transfer the pork to a plate.
• Return the pan to the heat and add in the garlic and ginger. Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Raise the heat to high and pour in the sauce mixture and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. When the sauce is very bubbly and thickened like warm honey, toss the pork back in and toss constantly to coat everything and reduce the sauce to a thick, sticky glaze on the pork. This can be served immediately over rice, noodles, or as finger food, or can be allowed to cool and be eaten cold.
